Of all the years of UConn playing basketball…only 6 teams made it further than this one did. It was tough to lose to Michigan, but you cannot ask for anything more out of them.

Has Derek Kellogg been mentioned at all? I only ask this because I know he is really close with Hurley. Also, he has many years of HC experience, and he happens to be a local guy.

This is a great point. We didnt blow out UNH, Bryant, etc, but after that we went on to beat Illinois, BYU, Kansas, and Florida…and looked pretty good doing it. Who knows where we would be right now If the Big East was as strong as it usually is? I still think the problem is more mental from...

Metrics do not measure the fact we are getting every teams best shot in this league. In a year where the conference is so bad, I think teams are a little extra desperate to beat us because it would be the only serious resume booster. At the same time, I feel like maybe the guys are going through...

Taliek Brown disagrees

The more the playoff expands, the more the other bowl games literally equate to the NIT.

Absolutely beautiful. It’s about time they brought these back. The 06-07 season was the last time these were worn IIRC.

Not sure If this even matters, but I figured with the big renovations that are going on, It would at least attract a bigger name sponsor.

Congratulations on your retirement and a great career. John saw a lot of wins over the last 20 years. I remember the guy before he took over, It was obvious UConn had a new PA guy because Johns voice is drastically different than his predecessor. I wonder who will take over? Maybe Joe Dambrosio??

You would think BYU would play Clemson, then we would play another more big time program as the real main event of the evening.

Let’s see what happens this weekend in NYC. The Big East Tournament success has always been and indicator of how well we are playing, and how well we will do in the NCAA. For example, every time we won the BET, we made it to the second weekend or more.

I remember when they would do the Blue/White Scrimmage every year at the Civic Center in the 90’s. They would also have kids under 12 participate in a little basketball clinic with the coaches and players before the scrimmage started. I remember because my parents would always take me to this...

Jacksons leadership will be missed. Not really sure who will be the guy to step into that role next season…maybe Tristen? After we won in 2011, we returned a good amount of talent and experience, but we clearly missed Kemba’s role as the leader, and I think that is the reason why that was a down...

That’s why I said the AAC on steroids. The geography is comparable with no regional rivals and losing a close venue in MSG for the conference tournament. Keep in mind Texas and Oklahoma are not part of the equation. Those are two big time NCAA brands.

Aside from the money, the Big 12 is what we had in the AAC on steroids. We would be with southern/midwest schools, no regional rivals, and we lose MSG for our conference tournament to play it in Kansas City. The athletic department would have plenty of money, but the other things that sucked...
